I A SUCKER.... |
I Not Always Fish
By PETER CARLTON
> i i
As we grow fuzz on our beardless
faces and the wonderment of the
world begins to become commonplace,
we then sometimes are painfully
aroused to the fact that a sucker is
not necessarily a fish.
The old saying used to be, “don’t
take any wooden nickels”, but Chow
anians and Albemarlians are saying,
take any phony twenty-dollar
bills.” "Don’t be surprised if some
pop up in these parts. The slickers
think the folks living in those towns
under the so called big-city population
are ripe for the plucking.
One of our neighbors was “taken”,
we learned through scuttlebutt, for
about S3OO. He was given this
amount in twenty-dollar counterfeit
bills. Don’t become cynical or dis
trustful of the world, but it pays to
■be politely cautious. <

Mrs. Lester coqld not endure the
thought of remaining uncaptured, so
when she encountered Mr. Telverson,
single and quite cheerful about it,
she could not avoid archly remark
ing, “Forty years old, Mr. Telverson,
and never been married? It’s really
too bad. But surely you have not
given up hope?’:
"Oh, no, indeed,” rejoined Mr. T.
“I hope I am safe for another forty
years, anyway.”
